A. n. Cuttings Mission.


A. n. Cutting. whose imprisonment
by Mexican authorities in the summer of
1886, led almost 70 serious complications
between the two republics, is in this
city, where he will remain few days
more. He claims to be here as chairman
of the Executive Council of the An
nexation League. to make arrangements
for the holding of a convention at New
Orleans in July, to further the annexa-
ton of Mexico to the United States, or
the formation of a new republic some
what less in extent than the proposed
confederacy. Delegates have been elected
in Guaymas. Mexico; Manitoba. New
York. Missouri. Ohio, Kansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Illinois, California, Arizona,
Chicorra, New Mexico and Texas. The
convention will probably establish a
journal to advocate their plans and pros
elyte the adventures until such time as
occasion and opportunity will permit
them to- take the necessary steps IN fur
cherance of the gigantic scheme pro-
posed.

Palatka's Bridge.

A bridge across the st. Johns at Palatka
will soon assume material shape, and
its location is of great importance to the
business interests of our city. The meet
ing of citizens last night was the prelim-
mary step towards the expression of the
popular will, and the adjournment until
Thursday evening of next week will en-
sure a careful consideration of both sides
of the question.
If we are to have passage for pedes-
trians, the city and county will be ex-
pected to subscribe literally towards its
erection. Meantime, we hope the ques-
ton as to where the bridge shall touch
the city will be considered in the full
light of the best interests of our commu-
nifty at large, and that the arguments
pro and con will be fully weighed. For
this purpose we gladly open our columns
to all interested, and hope full expires
sion of opinion while the matter may be
considered dispassionately. will Obviate
all possibility of hasty action or n snap
Judgment We invite discussion and So
licit the attention of every citizen.

The F7oridian might be congratu-
lated on the snowy effuigence with
which its garments shine as it tramples
under foot the mud thrown by its enc
mics, but the result of these attacks was
too confidently anticipated to awaken
any enthusiasm. The victory, full and as
sured, rests with the recognized exponent
of Democratic doctrine, but all forbear
the pecan because I'VE told you so" and
therefore exultation is out of place. 1t
is now, as for a long time past, the king
of Florida weeklies, the peoples preacher
of political righteousness and the sup
port of the party in all times of difficult
ty and danger. Peace to the ashes of
an honorable past-success to its efforts
in the future.

Our CITY Charfer

We thank Senator Fowler for the
following letter which fails to
explain how foreign matter crept
charter. If it relieves the Senator
from Putnam it leaves the burden on
the shoulders of others who will, also,
we trust, speak out. But we made no
insinuations, and our charges are as
plain as our knowledge of English will
enable us to make them. The Senator's
character is not at present under discus
sion, save he may be uneasy on the
subject, and we agree with him that our
people already thoroughly recognize and
appreciate his conduct and life while he
has been among us and before. But we
referred to Senator Chandler because
our readers do not know him so well.
As to his charge of outside influence
we claim the right inherent in all citizens
to protest against the passage of a bad
law and ask its amendment or de
feat. III the business men of Palatka
its Boaru of Trade and its Council have
no voice in such matters, then it is
plain that Fowler, the public servant. is
greater as Senator than his masters. and
claims the right of little brief author
ity to abuse his employers by calling
. names. If the immaculate Senator
wishes to do So, he can easily obtain the
full history of the sudden conversion of
his bitter opposition into the hasty par
tisanship which sought to aid the Ia
bors of a committee with which he had
no connection.
The question is-how did foreign mat
ter creep into a bill which appears cor
rectly ON the journals of both Houses?
Here is our noble Senator'S answer:

The yellow fever panic has never
scared those who have passed through
so many periods of like nervous anxiety
on the part of the public. but it has been
ut least powerful enough to effect u
thorough cleansing of many towns in
our section. A chronic condition of
fearful anticipation might be public
boon as it would enforce attention from
many who usually never think of the
public interest or general welfare. Even
those citizens who confine their support
of the Board of Trade to- idle criticism or
worthless advice have been urged by
selfish considerations, to look after the
publication of their surroundings, and
